Family Day at the Farm

On Saturday, we went to Family Day at the Farm. It was supposed to introduce farming and agriculture to kids and the community! There were a bunch of booths and demonstrations...we made butter, milked a 'cow', made plant people, saw real cane syrup, petted a few animals, saw how to make homemade soap, and a ton of other really cool agricultural type things! It was a beautiful day to enjoy a fun {and free} outing with the boys!

Cute balloon corn stalks!
Henry milking the 'cow'! Henry pointed out that it wasn't really milk...it was just water!
Grant took a turn milking the 'cow' too!
The boys got to see a SUPER cool spider among a ton of other really disgusting dead insects and bugs!
They got to check out the fire truck...
and try to rope a {fake} bull!
Grant climbing the fence in the horse arena!

Henry with his chicken balloon.

Eating their ice cream that they got {free} for milking the cow!

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

We are NOT loving the summer!



After my posts about food the last few weeks, I did NOT decide that even though I am happy with what we eat at our house, maybe we could broaden our horizons a little and try a few different things too.

I did NOT take an adventurous trip to Target and roam the isles looking for some interesting {but still yummy} food! I have NOT found my new favorite snack! It is not NUTELLA! I have NOT eaten an entire jar of it by myself in the last two weeks! It is NOT delicious, and I have NOT been sitting at the computer eating pretzels dipped directly in the jar of Nutella!

On my adventurous trip to Target I also did NOT buy all of the ingredients to make hummus. I did NOT actually make the hummus, but then end up throwing it away because the smell was SO BAD! I did NOT put way too much tahini {a weird smelling sesame paste that is only for the very brave} in my hummus, making it basically inedible! On my next trip to Target I did NOT just buy some premade hummus {which didn't smell like feet and was actually very tasty}!

I am NOT just a little glad that VBS is over! We had a great time...but VBS is NOT a ton of work, and I was NOT just a little exhausted by the end of the week! I was NOT SUPER excited that three little girls walked the isle at church during the early service {and I think a few more during the late service} because they had gotten saved during VBS!

I did NOT have an AWESOME time Saturday night with my girls! Girls Night Out is NOT the best stress reliever ever! We did NOT have a great dinner and then we did NOT spend about two hours roaming around Target making way too much just a little bit of noise! I did NOT talk Karen into buying some Nutella....and I don't think she is now in love with it too!

I am NOT going to remind everyone one more time to enter my GIVEAWAY for a SUPER cute personalized beach towel! The giveaway does NOT end tonight at 10 pm Central Time!

What were you doing...

...two years ago?

That is the question that Heidi at Blue Eyed Blessings has tagged me to answer.

Well, I was probably doing LAUNDRY!

Or giving my filthy child a bath spraying him off with the waterhose to get all the mud off of him!

Honestly I don't remember this particular day because Grant LOVES to get dirty and probably did this at least twice a week the whole summer! And he actually still ends up looking like this most days that he goes outside to play if there happens to be a mud puddle in the yard!

So what were you doing....

Now, it's my turn to tag FIVE of my blog readers asking them this same question - What were you doing 2 years ago to this very day? (or at least as close as you can get) Share some photos and your memories of that day 2 years ago. Add it to your blog so all of us can see your answer and then tag FIVE more people to keep the ball rolling.
